A Review of Arsenic and Its Impacts in the Ganges- Brahmaputra-meghna Delta, Bangladesh

Trends and persistence in precipitation in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna river basins

The Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) river basins occupy about 1.75 x 10 km of the Himalayan region. More than half a billion people in Nepal, India, Bhutan and Bangladesh are directly or indirectly dependent on the water resources of the GBM rivers. These river basins are characterized by diversified climatic patterns. Analyses of trends and persistence in precipitation over these river ba...

Future changes in hydro-climatic extremes in the Upper Indus, Ganges, and Brahmaputra River basins

Future hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may pose serious threats for the livelihoods in the upstream domains of the Indus, Ganges, Brahmaputra. For this reason, the impacts of climate change on future hydrological extremes is investigated in these river basins. We use a fully-distributed cryospheric-hydrological model to simulate current and future hydrological fluxes and for...

Arsenic in Groundwaters of the Ganges, Mekong, and Red River Basins

The use of hazardous, arsenic-bearing groundwater for drinking, cooking, and irrigation has led in Bangladesh to what has been described by a leading epidemiologist as the worst mass poisoning of a human population in history (Smith et al. 2000). While surface waters usually have a very low dissolved arsenic content, the widespread occurrence of hazardous pathogens in rivers and ponds prompted ...
